I have heard from the main author in the last month that it's
alive & a new version is in the works.

IMO for a demo disc you might err to showing off the latest-
greatest features, although it does your reputation no good
to hand out buggy untested software.

For an educational disc I would err on the side of tested
stability. I find when learning a new program that I am only
willing to invest time if I know that problems that come up
are due to my own ignorance; it is no fun to spend hours on
a problem only to learn that it's due to a bug. After that you
are not willing to the time in and so you will abandon learning
it.


IMO official Ubuntu/released or Debian/testing packages
represent a good compromise between those. ie modern + QA'd.
So I feel we are on the right track :)
